Buy the Sound of Superman

Sound of Superman is a companion album to the soundtrack of the Warner Bros. film, Superman Returns. It features performances both original and cover by various up and coming artists, as well as established ones. All the songs on the album are based either on Superman himself, or at the basic concept of what a hero really is. None of the songs actually appear in the film, although "The Rescue" was featured in a trailer for Superman Returns and the cover track on this album of "Superman" was used to introduce the three main cast members at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards.

This album preceded the actual score of the film, composed by John Ottman. That album was released two weeks later, on June 27, 2006.

This is not the first time that this concept has been explored in the superhero genre of film. Batman did the same, and achieved great success with both albums. One featuring music by Prince, and the other featuring the score composed by Danny Elfman.

The Album sold over 550,000 copies, On December 5th, 2008 it was certified Gold.
